'21 NJ RB Audric Estime (Notre Dame Signee)

[Luckylucci]

With all the action in the Diggs thread I thought I’d post that it’s a unanimous opinion, amongst the paid sites, that Estime is the better prospect. And now, Rivals analyst Josh Hemboldt said that he thinks Estime is still rated too low and they have him as the #6 RB and #132 overall.

High praise, are we at the "Shipley who?" phase yet?

 

[Henges24]

How fast is this guy? He doesn’t look blazingly fast but is decisively quick at times in film.

Jordan Shipley was a great kick returner in his Texas days.

Haven’t seen any 40 times and I don’t think he’s a burner but he’s got what a lot of productive guys do. Quick feet, great balance, and good acceleration. At his size, he can do a lot with that.

Kyren and Tyree will be ND's 1-2 punch next year, it will be interesting to see if Estime can work his way in-- short yard back?? I remember when C'bo signed and I thought to myself "just another back." When C'bo came in this past season he made the most of it and teammates said that C'bo was the hardest to bring down in practice. It will be interesting to see what Lance will do with Estime's versatility.

I think assuming we are mostly back to normal he plays in 4 games that are likely to be large wins and keeps a redshirt.

That looks like our game closer, doesn’t it?

I mean, who is going to want to tackle this guy after chasing Kyren and Tyree all game long.

 

[NDGOLDEN]

Dare I say the next Derrick Henry...

[Valpodoc85]

Curious to see how many reps he gets this year. Certainly passes the eye test

 

[Irishnuke]

Dare I say the next Derrick Henry...

Sure that's a completely reasonable comparison...

Nothing makes me laugh like fantano memes.

I hope Koon's heart is ok after seeing that.

we got ourselves a nick chubb clone.....this kids speed is underrated, hits holes fast and is nimble for his size

 

[RDU Irish]

Kid looks like a monster - built like a Mack truck. What kind of top end speed do we think he has to go with the destructive b/w the tackles aspect?

 

[FightingIrishLover7]

Maybe I'll look stupid for saying this one day (bookmark it)

But I truly think he was a better signing than Donovan Edwards.

 

[Irish#1]

He's not going down with arm tackles or hitting him up high. Better hit those legs and wrap tight.

 

[Trait Expectations]

His highlights surprised me. I fall into the trap of assuming he's a battering ram because of his build but he's got really good vision and he keeps his feet churning in traffic.

 

[NDVirginia19]

Reminds me of Lendale White

 

[RDU Irish]

Every comparison I have heard makes me smile. Not just from a skill standpoint but also complimenting the rest of the roster.

I know the measurables are in the general team info thread, but I thought it'd be appropriate to put it in the player thread too.

Audric is up to 230 pounds and Rees said he looks 35 years old lol.

230 seems like... a lot?

 

[NDBoiler]

Awesome. With seeing only the EE’s this spring, I kind of forgot about him and Thomas. The future certainly looks bright.
